The arrival of Barley, Moth English and Foreign, being very considerable, the sale of that article was heavy at a reduction of full Is. per quarter from the prices that were obtained on Friday, but fine samples found buyers on the same terms as on last Monday.

The deliverer of Portugal and Spain, the Hero of Water lo the Duke of Wellington, is arrived within our walls, as well as a great many Generals and superior Officers of different nations. For many years past, Brussels has nrat been so brilliant and so animated as at this moment. BRUSiELS, Nov. 19.—The fete yesterday evening was more splendid than the first, it was favoured by weather quite extraordinary for the season, and the greatest part of the population of the city thronged the streets. An affecting scene took place in the midst of the fete, and will be long remembered here. The Emperor Alexander, after having danced with his august Mai her, threw himself into her arms, and embraced her several times, with that respect and tenderness which the sincerest filial piety alone can inspire. It is impossible to express the lively and affecting emotions which this unexampled circumstance excited in the hearts °fall those who had the happiness to witness it. The Emperor of Russia retired at midnight. The King and Queen withdrew half an huur after hint, without partaking of the supper. The King of Prussia is not yet arrived. The horses which were placed at the post station at Cottenberg have been coun termanded and sent back. We arc ignorant when his Ma jesty- will arrive. The arrest of several persons, mostly foreigners, is still the sob . ;ect of every conversation, and singularly excites the pub lic attentioo. If we were to repeat all the reports that cir culate on this subject, horror and indignation would be ex cited in tine highest degree. The whole is so obscure, that it would be imprudent to hazard a conjecture o❑ so delicate a subject, which will probably be soon cleared up. MotcmouTH.—ln pursuance of Resolutions, the Burgesses of Monmouth have applied to the Court of King's Bench, in support of their right to elect their own Magistrates. 011 Wednesday week, a motion was made by Mr. SCARLETT, and rules were grunted against the present acting Mayor and Bailiffs, to show cause why informations, in the of Quo tVarranto, should not be exhi bited against them, requiring them to state by what authority they claim those offices. GLASGOW COLLEGE.—The re-election of a Rector for the second year is so much a mat ter 0. course in our University, that there is ,eldom any contest on such an occasion, Ito w ,,ver eager the parties many have been the preceeding year. The election on Monday, however, formed an exception to the general .•ustom, there being a very keen run against the present Rector, the Earl of Goisoow, by o' students, who wished to confer:" that ho i!onr iMr. FiNLAY. The four nations (or classes in which the students are arranged, fie. cording to the places of their birth) divided cqq4lly, two of them, the Transforthana Rothseyana voting for the Earl pf G LAS- Cow and the t_ilottiana and Loudoniana for Mr. FINLAY. In cases of equality, it is provided by the statures that the preceding Rector, or in hi, absence the Vice-Rector, gives the casting vote—atid upon the present occasion the Vice- Rector gave his vote for the Earl of GLASGOW. Monday last arrived in this city, illeerza Jadfar and Meerza &Wilt, two of the distinguished rusonages who were sent into this country fillet, years since, by Abbas Meerza, the reigning Pt lace of Persia. On Tuesday they viewed our Cathedral and the County Gaol ; the sublime and' beautiful architecture of the holy pile, appeared to impress them with reverence for its, pious use ; their visit to the Gaol was highly gratifying to their attendants, these distinguished foreigners mi nutely inspected every thing which directed to then notice; and on leaving the building, said all appeared to he conducted on the princtple of humanity and cleanliness. They expressed a wish that their own country possessed such an ex cellent est . ablishment. On IVednesday they visited the Cloth Manufactory of Alessi's. Davis, Beard, and Davis ; on Timrsday our Shire- Hail, and the Pin Manufactory of MeFsrs. Dunn ford and Co. The malting of pins seemed to afford them high gratification, which was join cawed by the employment of so many poor people of all ages. They left us on Friday, billy imprvssed with the importance of the runny valu able institutions we possess, and highly gratified , nth the polite attentions they had received. — (Gloucester Herald, Nov. 21 ) Tie Sultan KATTEGIRRY, well known in the religious wet Id as the Tartar Prince, who, a few years ago, became a convert to the Chrisian faith, has for some time resided in Edinburgh, and is now on a visit at D l lllshillilfle House.

(FRom THE OBSI:RVER) MANSION-HOUSE.—On Friday evening the Lord Mayor was applied to by -- Jones, Esq. late Marshal of the Bench, upon the following. extraordimo y occasion the Ist of June, a sale of part of the late Alderman Boydell's property took place at his widow' s house in Cheapside, by order of the executors; plates, prints, &c. were sold on that day to the amount of about 40,0901. The purchase r was a Mr. Harrison, who bad been agent to Baydell's house up wards of twenty years : but the purchase was made in several names, amongst which was that of Mr. Arch, , itioliselltr, ef Cornhill. The purchase made in Mr. Arch's name was tio derstood to be in fact for the benefit of Mr. Harrison. After this had heel, disite, au evelit took place, motet- time authority. of Mr. Harrison, of which Mr. Junes gave the folowing account : Mr. Harrison was agent to Sir Wit. Boyden's house from his youth, until that Alderman's death, a period of twenty years. After the Al:fermi:Ws death, he was allowed to mold the agency; and when it was thought necessary to dispose. of the property, every futilities worth of which belonsed to the.. widow, it was considered fit to permit him to make purchases' of certain portions of the property fur himself, fur which it was agreed that he should give in to Mr. Jones, who acted upon the part of the widow, approved bills within a stated time. Upon this agreement Mr. Harrison made purchases to the above-mcntioned aumont. For part of the property he gave bills, and tilt pile has. was considered so far com pleted ; but for the remaining part, the sun) to he paid fur which was 20,7001., nu hills had hero offered, outwith stauding the constant applications front those most deeply interested in the pill Cha.v, fur promised securities. In this emergency it was thought expedieat to make a second sale of the property, to the uncompleted amount. The gmals,. the conditions of the sale of which bad not been complied with, were sold by public auction a second time. The pur chasers were the firm of Loop:mu and Co. of Paternoster-.. row, and it was considered that Mr. Harrison: had, by his re focal to comply with the terms of the stipulatiori, fallen hack into his character of agent. The new purchasers immediately .; gave bills for the amousit, and :very put in possession of the house in Cheapside, where goods, the property of the widow, to tine amount of between 60,0001. and 70,0001. were depo sited. They had not remained long its possession, when an attempt to deprive them of it, upon the part et Mr. Harri son, was made with suddenness and sitecess. Mr. Robinson and another Gentleman were in the house one day, when Mr. Harrison, who was allowed to sleep in it, . walked into the room where those Gentlemen were, told taking the former by the shoulder, thrust him out of doors, telling hint he had no business there. Mr. Robitison's friend was handled io the same manner. Resistance would II:1 ke proved unavailing, fur Mr. Harrison's assistants upon the occasion were numerous, and a personal contest could riot be supposed to exist lung between six people nor one side and two on the other. Mr. Harrison ridiculed the notion of any claim to the property except his own, and having supplied the garrison with the necessary means of holding out, re- hosed to open the doors fur airy authority. 'nue conduct of Mr. Harrison seemed the more extraordinary, as he had been so many years in the service of the house, where he had been treated with the utmost iiberality. As a proof of the generosity he had net with, even after he had proceed ed to these violent measures, it was stated by Mr. Jones that an otter or 2500 t. hadberet utole to hi m to answer all claims F.. he might have upon the house, and as an ilideinnificatioo for '; all loss he might hire sustained from the second sale of tine goods, the first purchase o which Inc had not made good. To this otter he had, it seems must cordially assented on 'l'hurs day last, declaring that he would be most folly satisfied with t the remuneration. He had, however, since changed his mind, ;tot! Mr. J.mnes said, admitted that he sent away some r of the property on the Wednesday night, from the premises. The LoND MAYOI( ob-erved that the case was a very strange f t s one, and asTs.ed upon shat prmeiple tile , Harrisen had de- .4 feuded the conduct he had thought proper to pursue ? Mr. Jones said, time justification set up was, that Mr. Bar- risou was a part n, r in the house of Boydell. The Loit.. MAYott said, any question connected with an unadjusted partnership must be of a very delicate nature, anti sr certainly couid not come within the liniits of his authority as a magistrate. He could of coarse take cosnisaile e of the as ,aults that had been committed, but with the civil part of is the business he could riot int,: fire. Mr. Jones said, the case came, in his apprehension, wholly within his Lordship's joridiction. The plea of partnership could nut be supported, and it struck him that the taking property out of a house, without amty other authority than having itid for it, came within the class of offences to which a Nlagistrate's attentions were unfortunately too frequently directed. The Loan Mayme said, he could consider the case at pre sent as nothing less than, a contest between two adverse inter ties, one of whom had put the other out of possession. He ss did not consider the taking felonious, for Miens the shadow of a right appeared, the felonious hitt-minim vanished. Mr. Jones said, there was not the slightest shadow of legal right upon the part of Mr. Harrison. The LORD MAYOR observed, that there certainly appeared 4 no right in point of law. Possession, however, was, it was '. well known, a thing of great power ill the opinion of the Bench, and Mr. Harrison had possession, Mr. Junes begged to know in what manner his Lordship r, would act wider siiuilar circumstances. The Loon Ma sera said, that as John Atkins, of Walhrook, he should oppose force to force, if his premises Yvete taken possession of. As Lord Mayor, be should apply to his Soli- r citor, wh o , eetned to him to be the only person capable of I giving redress. Mr. Jones begged to trice an authority from his Lordship to make a forcible entry i n t o t h e house, in order to produ ce Mrs. Boydells property, and' said he should give his Lord- ship indemnification in the event of a legal process. His Lordship expressed an anxious wish to render every service; but said no indemnification could be given to him as fs, a Magistratr, for his interference in a czese Which seemed to him to he capable of being m:ecitled only its a Court. Mr. Harrison might soot' be convinced that he had no right to take fs. so great an authority Inputs himself ; and might, his Lordship At u •gested, be spoken with to some effect. Mr. Jones said, he h a d s h ut h i mself up its the house, and t : would nut speak with, any body but those who had advises! SZ. hint so much to his own prejudice. The Loan MAYOR sent Mr. Brown, the Marshal, to the house, to request that Mm. Harrison would call Upon him at the s'• Mansion House, and to assure him that no areantage should s be fallen of his absence from the house in Cheataside. The Marshal SO3/1 returhed with the answer of Mr. Hari ison, who r c , spoke to him from the kitchen through the grate. Mr. Hilt- Filson expressed his sorrow that circumstances prevented hit: tie ff Oal having any communication with Ins Lordship. ij We ate happy to state that the parties came to an tinder- S . standing on Saturday upon the subject, which produced a must amicable adjustruent of all differences. By th it arrange. r.• cent, an expensive Chancery suit has been avoided.
